Do you have a box of treasured momentos, a drawer of unfinished artwork or a notebook of ideas you never quite started and definitely didn't finish?

EPISODE DESCRIPTION: Everything changes. Platforms. The Economy. Seasons of Life.  What do you do when these changes block your path in such a way, that no matter how you look at it, you can’t seem to find a path forward? You need to get distance to find perspective, but you can’t always press pause and escape to a two week vacation anytime you get stuck. In this episode we talk about the research backed power of the journey mentality and how to access its perspective shifting magic. This is episode 1 of our ongoing Creative Journey Series.

465 - What to Focus on & What to Let Go with Cheyenne Barton *REPLAY*

The creative brain is amazing at coming up with infinite options and connections, but sorting through and choosing which options are best and should be focused on is a totally different skill. In this episode we talk to incredible Illustrator and Youtuber Cheyenne Barton, right in the midst of working this stuff out for herself. At the time we talked, Cheyenne was feeling overwhelmed in her practice and I found the vulnerability of this chat to be a real gift.
